Suzanne Alexander(1931-1975)
- Actress
The younger child of concert entertainer William J. White, Alexander's mother was "Miss Canada of 1918". Canadian-born Gwendolynne Ann White, who became Suzanne Alexander, was one of the starlets who, back in the 1950s, displayed their comely figures in a couple of movies and TV series episodes without finding a worthwhile role to prove themselves. Things could have been different had she landed the role of Princess Aouda in Mike Todd's lavishly produced Le tour du monde en 80 jours (1956) for which she tested. But Shirley MacLaine finally accepted the part after rejecting it twice. Alexander eventually vanished from the big and small screens.
In September 1975, and it was bad news: she had leaped to her death from a hotel room in San Francisco. She was only 44 years old.
